"Not everyone can feel things as deeply as you. Most people, their feelings are ... bland, tasteless. Theyll never understand what its like to read a poem and feel almost like theyre flying, or to see a bleeding fish and feel grief that shatters their heart. Its not a weakness, Grey. Its what I love about you most."

"The 1143-year-long war hand begun on false pretenses and only because the two races were unable to communicate.Once they could talk, the first question was Why did you start this thing? and the answer was Me?"

"I often get asked, Is the book dead? It hasnt happened yet. Its different than music. Music was always meant to be pure sound - it started out as pure sound and now its pure sound again. But books started out as things. Words on paper began as words on paper. The paperback book is the best technology to deliver that information to you."

"[A God-thing is] when something happens in your life, and you look at it and cant explain how or why it happened, but you know theres a reason for it. You know that God is doing something in your life, and it changes you. Theres no other way to explain it except to see it as a God thing."

"Did I help someone to realize a dream they thought theyd lost? Did I listen when someone told me the reward is worth the cost? Did I praise someone for their efforts and encourage someone toward their dreams? Did I help someone to understand the end never justifies the means? Did I make someone laugh and smile when they would much, rather frown? Was I the one who picked them up when everyone put them down? Am I, the one they confide in and know their conversations secure? Did I provide them with someone to trust in knowing their friendship will always endure? Am I humble and constantly striving to become more than I was yesterday? Did I focus on the successes of others and follow through with all that I say? If I constantly strive to become the one who can say I did to did Is. Then my life is fulfilled, knowing I have achieved lifes greatest prize." - Author: Carl Morris

"Sweden had paternity-leave policies in place for years but found that few men were taking advantage of the benefit. While women felt comfortable taking time off to be with baby, men worried that they would look less dedicated to their careers if they did the same. So the Swedish government implemented a "use it or lose it" policy, mandating that the countrys thirteen-month parental leave cannot only be used by one parent – the other parent must use at least two months of the leave, or both lose those months entirely. Today 85% of Swedish fathers take paternity leave. The policy has helped redefine notions of masculinity and femininity in the already-egalitarian country." - Author: Emily Matchar

"In a strange room you must empty yourself for sleep. And before you are emptied for sleep, what are you. And when you are emptied for sleep, what are you. And when you are emptied for sleep you are not. And when you are filled with sleep, you never were. I dont know what I am. I dont know if I am or not. Jewel knows he is, because he does not know that he does not know where he is or not. He cannot empty himself for sleep because he is not what he is and he is what he is not. Beyond the unlamped wall I can hear the rain shaping the wagon that is ours, the load that is no longer theirs that felled and sawed it nor yet theirs that bought it and which is not ours either, lie on our wagon though it does, since only the wind and the rain shape it only to Jewel and me, that are not asleep. And Jewel is, so Addie Bundren must be. And then I must be, or I could not empty myself for sleep in a strange room. And so if I am not emptied yet, I am is." - Author: William Faulkner

"Evil itself may be relentless. I will grant you that, but love is relentless too. Friendship is a relentless force. Family is a relentless force. Faith is relentless force. The human spirit is relentless, and the human heart outlasts - and can defeat - even the most relentless force of all, which is time." - Author: Dean Koontz

"I question the questioning of his sanity, says Metzger. To me, he was simply passionate about the right things. He had a valid critique of the world and made it. If thats insanity, somethings wrong. Personally, I think theres something wrong. With the world and not with John William." - Author: David Guterson
